Album Review

Powerman 5000 got a bit "punk-y" on their 2006 release, Destroy What You Enjoy. But by the time of their follow-up, 2009's Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere, Spider and company are back to their earlier direction — schizoid electroid metal — that is knee-deep in horror/sci-fi/B-movie imagery. Sure, the whole shebang may recall the direction that Spider's older brother originally trailblazed, but there's no denying the shlocky good time that Powerman 5000 cooks up throughout, especially on such standouts as the part-metal/part-dance "Do Your Thing" (which could be played on the dancefloor and in a mosh pit — how may songs can you say that about?), as well as the so-stupid-that-it's-instantly-memorable "V is for Vampire," and several tunes that bring to mind vintage Gary Numan at certain points sonically ("Time Bomb Baby," "Get Your Bones," etc.). Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere may not be selected as the most trailblazing metal album of all time, but there's no denying the party-hearty vibe that it creates — amidst all the masks, space aliens, circuitry, and plasma.

Powerman 5000 Has Returned!

I have been a Powerman 5000 fan for a while, and some of their previous work disapointed me. Ever since i heard the single 'Super Villian', i couldn't wait for this album to come out! This album is Powerman 5000's best album yet! They wanted to make an album that they knew the fans would love, and they did. I love this album. If you're a PM5K fan, you have to get this album. The songs are explosive and fierce, and this album will leave you begging for more. The only thing i didn't like was the length of the record. Don't get me wrong, all the songs are amazing, but i felt like one or two more songs could of given it a 'complete' feeling. I felt like this album is only a taste of what's coming. I'm sure Powerman 5000 has a few more ideas up their sleeves.

Overall, Incredible album.
Powerman 5000, I'm glad you went back to your roots and made an album that is truely awesome. I can't wait until the video for Super Villian comes out!

If you are a Powerman 5000 fan, you

Anybody who has liked PM5K since the beginning will like this album. Songs like Super Villain, V is for Vampire, and Horror Show will remind people of the album Tonight the Stars Revolt. It is a grear album and a must have for PM5K fans.

Thank GOD!

For me "Destroy What You Enjoy" was a disasterpiece. "Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere" goes back to what they're awesome at. Just balls to the wall hard rock with a tint of industrial. Great album. Doubt it will win any grammys but perfect for the upcoming Halloween parties! Good to listen to and some good beats for the girls on the poles! ;)
